November & December Newsletters!! End of Year Releases/Christmas Haul!! Top 9 Models of 2025!!

Since it's now January I need to catch up on the last two Collector Club Newsletters for last year before the one for this month and the first of the year comes out. I do feel kind of bad for not posting anything last month but there is plenty for this month coming and I am going to try to keep to regular posting in the future as long as I don't stress myself over it and keep it fun especially for myself as that was the point of starting this blog. I've been doing this for at least 2 whole years now, I don't fully count the short December posts from 2023 as that was just to test to see how this worked, but I am hoping to do this for more years to come.

November Newsletter!!

The November Collector Club newsletter covered a new workshop for members and it was for turning a barn into a gingerbread house, retailer spotlight, black Friday (there wasn't anything I wanted form it this year), wrap-up for Hoofbeats & Maple Treats, monthly giveaway was for the 12 days of Breyer calendar which I already have and forgot to finish opening, sneak peak was for the non equine lottery model.

Meet Roddick!!

Roddick is a moose in unusually coloring, his coat is a mostly piebald color. He is kinda cute but he wasn't anything I felt I really needed for my collection to enter for, congrats to those that were selected for him!!

December Newsletter!!

Reminders to sign up for the clubs if you want as the deadline was approaching, end of year warehouse sales, deadline to purchase a Merry Dancer or two closed on the 28th, behind the scenes for Premier Club artists, the giveaway was for the stallion long mane version of Premier Club release Rowan whom I already have so no need to enter for that one either, then the sneak peak!!

Not too sure what it could be, could be one of the regular run releases for the year, will have to check and compare as there isn't a lot of detail in the pic to compare to match to anything.

That's all for this post, still need to gather my top 9 models of 2025 and all other end of year models and have a separate post for those. See y'all later!!

Winter & Holiday Exclusive Models!!

So sorry this took so long, I got caught in the season changes at work and my first semester of online courses to MBA ended, second semester just started. Plus there was the holiday in-between where I just wanted to use it to not think of anything and just work on other stuff, I kinda didn't/couldn't and slightly didn't want to post on here till now. Week before Christmas I was also hit with a doozy of getting a bad cold ad having car troubles and had to get a rental and work the whole week leading up to me going home for the holidays. I did get a new laptop though and will start using it for this soon while my old laptop is mostly used for school work to a point, I also wanted time to get my new laptop set up the way I wanted it and navigate the new features it has compared to the old model I have. So without further ado, here are the new holiday models for this year, save for the traditional scale as I already covered him earlier this year.

Meet Hyperion!!!

Every year Breyer does a deco classic scale unicorn usually available in the fall leading up to the holidays. Hyperion is a metallic pink with a hint of silver on the classic/freedom scale Mandrake/Morgan Stallion mold with an added horn. He is really nice and I got him for my mom as she likes unicorns the most and her fav color is pink and for my parents weddings the colors were pink with silver and white. 

Meet Sylvan!!

Sylvan is the classic scale winter deco for this year. Sylvan's markings show deer, foxes, and other wildlife in a winter setting with a silver grey top/main coat color. As usual I did get him as I have gotten all the others, maybe one day when I can have a better display I can make a nice big winter display for them all.

Meet the 75th Anniversary Family!!

The vintage Proud Arabian Family is finally being utilized as a whole set!! The stallion on the Proud Arabian Stallion mold appears to be a bay pinto with a commemorative ribbon, the mare on the Proud Arabian Mare appears to be a palomino appaloosa and their foal on the Proud Arabian Foal appears to be a buckskin/dun appaloosa, possible pintaloosa. I did get these as I thought they were nice and I've been really liking the family sets lately.

Meet Cuddles!!

Cuddles is the yearly pony for Christmas as Breyer always does on every year. She is a chestnut pinto on the vintage but beloved Misty mold. Her blanket is a light blue/teal with snowflakes, candy canes, mistletoe, presents, gingerbread men, holly, and I believe boughs of evergreen? She is very cute, I haven't purchased her yet, but I may soon as she is still available.

Meet Merry Dancer!!

This year's Santa surprise/Christmas day type  deco model is on the Strapless mold. Earlier this year there were some leaks online from someone smuggling possible samples or official models from the factory they are made, the first two were Colby and Brooks form the TSC exclusive lineup and then later a pink deco pinto appeared and was speculated to be this release. Naturally I fell in love with the pink one first and was hoping to pull that one for my mom, but of course it's the luck of the draw and also part of me always hopes to pull a coal as well. The other colors are a minty green and a purple. I ended up pulling a purple, I later wanted to buy a second one but didn't want to risk getting a dupe and having to deal with trading at the moment. Oh well, maybe one year I'll get lucky and get a coal and I'll just have to get the pink one second hand.

Meet Short & Sweet Blind Bags!!

This year's winter deco stablemate blind bags are the Short & Sweet set! They are mini's of the candy striped Zebras from 2019, a mini coal was even included!! I wanted to get them and when they were launched I guess I took too long getting two and adding other stuff that they sold out by the time I went to check out. Past couple of years they didn't sell out and seemed to have extra stock so I was surprised these went so fast. Oh well, I'll just have to get the gold and red I wanted second hand and see if I can get lucky and get an affordable coal at some point. 

Meet Killington & mini Killington!!

This year's silver filigree release for winter is Killington and his mini me both on the vintage, well for the traditional scale one, Fighting Stallion mold. These are usually offered as a lottery release, but since last year they have just been releasing them till stock runs out instead which I guess is fine but I kind of miss the fun of the lottery but there are plenty of other lotteries throughout the year anyway. I did get these two and surprisingly they didn't sell out but at least I got them.

I also received the last of my club models, sadly I got the chestnut version of Winnifred the new molly mule for the Premier club, but at least I really like the last two releases of the Stablemate's club and my Juriaan arrived which I will try to share later. That's it for this post, more coming later, plus I still have to make my top 9 model selections for end of 2025 as I still haven't decided on those yet. See y'all in the next one!!

Hoofbeats & Maple Treats Models!!

Hoofbeats & Maple Treats event has came and went this past weekend, and with that came the reveals of the event exclusive models and in hand pics of them for a better look. Plus a sneak peak at Corgi Hill Flinka in hand especially in box!!

Lets start with the special runs, first we have...

Meet Niagra!!

Niagara is a grey arabian, turning "white", on the well loved vintage Sham mold. He is more than likely named after Niagara falls which is more located, especially where the water actually falls, in Canada but can be seen form New York.I really love him and his coloration and would love if they did more greys like this, especially arabians and thoroughbreds and the like. His coat does give me inspiration for a custom I want as I like the idea of a dark grey going white like that and want one for an OC thoroughbred I made up and want a physical representation of him. Using my extra Phish model for the body as that's what I want. So far this guy is my fav and hope to obtain him one day.

Meet Caesar!!

Caesar appears to be a dunalino, slight small chance a silver bay dun, on the Iberian version of the Brishen/Gypsy Vanner mold. From what I can find, he appears to be named after a mixed drink that has become popular in Canada, especially Western Canada. He also has blue and gold, Breyer's colors, ribbons in his mane. He is my second fav and another I hope to obtain one day.

Meet Pitter Patter!!

Pitter Patter is a black and white appaloosa, I want to say leopard appaloosa, coat on the Forever Saige/Mustang mare mold. Pitter Patter's name, from my research, seems to be inspired by the line "Pitter Patter, let's get 'er goin'" from a show called "Letterkenney" from a character named Wayne to show his impatience. At first I thought it was about the house hippos they have over there, but a popular show also works. I do like her, some have said there is a variation in her mane, she is supposed to have striping but some seem to lack it. I like the stripe version and with her being my third fav I hope to obtain that version some day.

Meet Trillium & Bunchberry!!

Trillium and Bunchberry are a mare and foal set. I believe Trillium is the mare and Bunchberry is foal, and if that's right that means Trillium appears to be a bay pinto while Bunchberry appears to be either a light bay pinto or a buckskin pinto. Trillium is a plant, sometimes referred to as: wood lilly, birthwort, birthroot, tri flower, and wakerobin. It is found in temperate regions of North America and Asia. Bunchberry is Canada's unofficial national flower, it produces red berries that are a snack to bears, chipmunks, birds, voles, and deer. Both are on the vintage Grazing Mare & Foal set, they are cute but I don't know if currently I like them enough to want them eventually one day.

Meet Queen City!!

Queen City is a flaxen chestnut pinto on the vintage Shire mold. She is more than likely named after Regina, the capitol city of Saskatchewan. Which was named after Queen Victoria and is home to the Canadian Pacific Railway. She is cute, but not overly my cup and tea and high on my want list.

Meet Poutine!!

Poutine is a bay pinto in a glossy finish on the Nikolas/German Riding Pony mold. He is named after the dish of the same name containing french fries and cheese curds topped in brown gravy. It merged into the Centre-du-Quebec region of Quebec through unknown origin in the 1950s. There are poutine celebrations in Montreal, Quebec, Drummondville, Toronto, Ottawa, New Hampshire, and Chicago. It has been named Canada's national dish, and there are variations of the recipe resulting in dumplings and sandwiches. He is nice, but again he's another one I'm not sure if he makes my most wanted list.

Meet Maple!!

Maple is this year's center piece model and is a handsomely delicious deep rich bay in a glossy coat on the Big Ben mold. Each one also comes with his own unique Halloween costume that are said to have been made by Infinity Breyers!! There's a witch, Dracula/vampire, jack-o-lantern, black widow/spider, and scarecrow inspired ones!! He is one I'd love to have one day but which costume, or should I say witch, costume to have hime come with is hard to decide as they all look great!! The spider one so far the owner has said he literally had to be strip searched by TSA and have his costume placed in a bag for separate travel. I am not sure how many of him have been made yet, will probably be announced in this year's JAH (just About Horses) edition. Also how many of each costume is also a mystery that may or may not be released as well.

In box Flinka!!

So far Flinka and her box look great!! Can't wait to see the rest of the releases and the theming of their packaging! Her's reminds me of Disney's Frozen which gives me some inspo for names as long as Breyer doesn't use them for any of the special runs or coincidentally a guest horse.


Also can't forget the main host/celebration horse and model for the event which is Legacy!!

Legacy resides at Ariel Grange's Lothlorian Farm in Ontario which is also home to his Olympic rider Danial Coyle. There was also a tour at Ballycroy Bloodstock which is home to 2016 Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile winner Tamarkuz, which all the Breeder's Cup races also happened this past weekend.

That's all I have for this post, see y'all in the next one!!

October Collector Club Newsletter is Here!! Maple Leaves & Hoofbeats Event Models Revealed!!!

 The October Collector Club newsletter is finally here!!! Let's take a look inside.

It is time renew and/or join clubs for next year. With this comes the reveal of club exclusive models, especially for the deluxe club and spring web special release.

Meet Lavinia!!

Lavinia will be a Collector Club exclusive model for next year and will more than likely be the spring web special just like Maddox was for this year.She appears to be a grey pinto on the Rhiannon/Gypsy Vanner mare mold. I really like her, I am really looking forward to her official release and snagging her once she's available for purchase.

Meet Kiana!!

Kiana is the bonus stablemate for the Deluxe Collector Club next year. She will be a 50/50 split of matte and gloss finish. She appears to be on the new Arabian mare mold that may be a mini of a vintage traditional scale mold. She has a rich bay coat. I'm hoping for the glossy, she is also featured on the pin that she also comes with.

next article covers the announcement of Corgi Hill Flinka, our Celebration Horse for 2026. The Christmas/holiday store and exclusive models and merchandise are now available.

Meet Nick!!

He is the Christmas plushy for this year. He's kinda cute, but doesn't really do it for me so he's not one I would desperately want or need for my collection. I will also be covering the other models in another post a little later.

This month's featured story is about the behind the scenes making of this year's Halloween model, Arachne, with artist Christine Jordan.

Monthly Giveaway!!

This month's giveaway is a Halloween lot that contains Maelstrom, Ratsputin, and a full of series 3 & & of the Spooky Surprise Stablemates. Again I am going to skip it as I have most of those already and want to focus on one's I don't have yet.

Sneak Peak!!

The sneak peak appears to be a shoulder or hindquarters of a model that is pitch black with a glossy finish. I am guessing it will be the "coal" for the Santa's Surprise Models for this year which I cannot wait to see!!

The models for the Maple Leaves and Hoofbeats event this weekend have been reveled!! Let's take a look, I will be going more in depth of them in another post as I want to wait for in hand photos.

Looks like an exciting lineup!! Can't wait to see the other models such as the center piece model to be revealed!!

That's it for this post! Have a happy and safe Halloween!! See y'all later!!!

Tractor Supply (TSC) Exclusive Models Have Been Revealed!!!

 The Tractor Supply Co. exclusive Breyers have finally been revealed!!

Meet Brooks!!

Brooks is a Morgan/Paint Horse cross, he sports a buckskin tobiano pinto coat. This guy was leaked earlier this year as someone was offering him for sale on a Chinese site, he more than likely was snuck out of the factory and for awhile it was up in the air if because of this he would be officially released at all. I'm glad he's still official as I love his coloring and have been waiting for a nice pinto on this mold.

Meet Colby!!

Colby is one the San Domingo mold in a dark varnish roan coat. This guy was also leaked earlier this year and made an appearance on the same Chinese website, it is believed Colby and Brooks were both snuck out of the factory by the same person then listed the same day. There was also a third with them but no box, it was a metallic pink pinto on the Strapless mold that has yet to make an appearance, some speculate it is either a Christmas web special or an OOAK, hoping for the web special as she was cool looking and my mom's favorite color is pink and I've gotten her pink models in the past. Anyways, I really like Colby as he's an appaloosa coloring I am really drawn to for some reason. Glad he is still official.

Meet Martina!!

Martina is on the Forever Saige/Mustang mare mold in a bay coat. Her original listing on the TSC website was her first appearance as she was not a factory escapee. I do like her and it's nice to see this mold get more releases and in simpler coats. Definitely getting her.

Meet Emery!!

Emery is on the Tigerlily/Standing Quarter Horse Mare mold in a blue black pinto coat with corduroy texture markings to symbolize the corduroy jacket FFA members wear. I like her, she's not solid blue like the other FFA benefit models save for the one on the Flash mold. She should look really cool once in hand and I like that she is a benefit model. For those that don't know what FFA is, it stands for Future Farmers of America and is a bit like/more of a hard core version of 4H. It's really big farther into the south and didn't know or hear of it till I moved to Kentucky, I only knew of 4H and tried to do it once but it's hard to do when you live in the burbs right outside the Twin Cities. So I will be getting her once she comes.

All made an appearance on the TSC website last month then got pulled more than likely being released to early (Brooks & Colby are available online again as of currently, Martina & Emery may come later), then there was more confusion this year on when they'd arrive in stores as some didn't know/have an exact date, others didn't know about them at all as they aren't on any incoming inventory list of stuff that was ordered, and then some said they would be online only but Breyer nor TSC as a whole company have not said if they are online only or will be both in-person and online like years past. Also the ones that said they may come in store would be by mid November as that's when another large shipment to the main big distribution center for the country arrives. Really hoping they come in stores near me as it is easier and cheaper plus fun to pick one that calls to you and has particular shading you like plus avoiding major flaws.

That's all I have for this post, see y'all in the next one!!

Rowan and Javier Have Arrived!! Last of Breyerfest Haul Has Arrived!! Halloween Haul!!

 Rowan and Javier are here!!

My Rowan and Javier are here and they are beautiful. My Rowan does have a tiny bit on pink on three of his fetlocks, but no where near as bad as others I've seen reported on social media. So I am happy with him and his coloring is a bit better in person, and I am really happy I got the glossy version of Javier as I haven't had much luck with glossy splits with some releases like I have in the past. 

I ordered some stuff online during Breyerfest from triple Mountain and had to wait a bit for it to arrive as I did have a preorder item with my order and usually she doesn't ship out till everything has arrived. Got some exciting stuff that I couldn't wait to arrive and am so happy they are finally here to see in person!!

I got another Peter Stone, Impressive Kaycee Too, despite a chipped ear he seemed like such a great deal I couldn't pass up and he had been available for a while, his ear could've been the cause of that but I don't mind it as the rest of him is in great shape. I also finally got my first Hartland!! It's Bedouin Princess on the Lady Princess mold, she's missing her foal so I'll be on the look out for him next. Other wise she's in fairly decent shape for her age, some scratches and wear and tear, she possibly could've been lightly played with and possible scratches if stowed away for some time. I do love a good grey Arabian and I've liked the Hartland Arabians most form the pics I've seen of them. I got the rest of the 2014 World Equestrian Games (WEG) models that were available, the two classic scales were new in box but I took them out to put the bonus blankets on them. So far I've only named the two classics and am still thinking of ones for the stablemates. They are Swan Song (grey Ruffian on left) and Ruby Sunset (chestnut Johar on right). I also got a glossy WIA Criollo, I have wanted the Criollo for a while and he kept selling out, the glossy one was new for limited amount and was the preorder and I'm glad I got one as now I have a glossy WIA as the rest are matte. The 90th anniversary rainbow appaloosa Schleich I couldn't pass up as he is so cool looking and I haven't gotten a Schleich in a while so this was a good excuse to get one. Got a vintage My Little Pony (MLP) club patch, looks like for gen 1 and gen 2 era, a Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron promotional button, it was also on there for a while and surprised no one snatched it up as most of the hobby like me loves and adores that movie plus grew up with it.  Then lastly I got the Peter Pegasus funko pop as I had been eyeing for awhile and decided now was a good time to get him.

Halloween haul is here!!

I got Screech, Webster who is super cute, 2 blind bag spooky stablemates but I got dupes of Tabitha unfortunately, and the pin plus one for my mom. I do like the metallic blue on Screech and mini Tabitha, plus the feather blaze on screech is really cute too. Fairly decent Halloween haul for the year.

That's all I have for this post, see y'all in the next one!!

September Newsletter, Brick & Mortar Special Model, CCA Event Round 2, & Iquitos!!

 September newsletter is here!! Let's take a look inside!!

Meet Juriaan!!

Juriaan is the fall Collector Club special run. He is on the Vermeer/Friesian/Friesian Sport Horse mold. He is is a rich glossy light chestnut coat.He is available while supplies last, he costs $75. I got to see him in the Collector Club tent this past Breyerfest and knew I had to have him once available, I ordered him right away when he became available online and can't wait for him to arrive!!

A new workshop is also available, learning how to do paint detailed hair on appaloosas, the deluxe club bonus stablemates are also available!! Plus they come with the pin for the club, slightly hoping for the Wedgewood or Copenhagen for the deco as you get two, the other is the bay/silver bay appaloosa. The gold models haven't thrilled me recently but the softer blues have been nice. The featured story is about showing model horses around the world, seems like a really interesting read. This months giveaway is Arachne, I'm skipping this one as I plan to get Arachne at a later time. Last but certainly not least, the sneak peak!!

This looks to be the winter raffle model as most of the time they are silver filigree. Some are speculating Bristol, one said Esprit but thankfully for me he was already used, that one was Alpine and I still need to get for my conga.

Meet Rosanna!!

This year's Brick & Mortar special model is on the Shagya Arabian mold in a rose grey coat. She was revealed not long ago and wasn't long before she was being offered up, this one arrived not long after I preordered so I guess they got the stock in right away and then sent her out right away. I love rose greys so I am glad I was able to get her. 

The second round of the CCA event has also come but like always can't really afford at the moment, especially after ordering Juriaan who also doesn't count towards it as it's only regular run stock that qualifies. Maybe one year I will be able to and also hopefully with really good models then too.

Meet Iquitos!!

Iquitos was the sneak peak from the previous newsletter & he was in fact part of the wild animal serious. He is based off poison dart frogs and is named after a region in South America. He is done on the Bristol mold, which has had a lot of web special/web raffle releases lately. He is gorgeous and I like he has a color gradient vs just being blue like most poison dart frogs when you look them up and they can come in other colors, blue just seems to be a popular type chosen. 

That's all I have for this post, see y'all in the next one!! 

(Info and pic of Juriaan and sneak peak come from Breyer, last two pics belong to me)

August Collector Club Newsletter & Halloween Models!!

 August newsletter has arrived!! Let's take a look!!

There's a new exclusive workshop covering layering acrylic paints, announcement about the Halloween store for 2025, National Fun Day update for October 11th, throw back to Just About Horses January/February edition of 1999, giveaway is for a full set of Fylkir's past stablemate release for the stablemate club 2017. Entering to hopefully get the 2 I want, the silver black and the dunalino, only have the appaloosa and bay splash, appaloosa was the first one I got then the bay splash came in a grab bag. Those also happened to be my least 2 favorite versions, again I am a sucker for the dilutes of silver and double dilute of dun and palomino. So wish me luck in entering. There's also a survey about experience of being in the collector club, wonder what changes this could lead to.

last but not least, the sneak peak!!

Definitely not only a deco, but could be related to the Wild Animal series as that usually comes out around this time of year and Breyer seems to be continuing it for now. Could be lizard, frog, butterfly, possibly even a fish, doubt bird if they want to pick up the Birds of a Feather Series again in the future.

Halloween model are here!!

Meet Screech!!

Screech is the glow in the dark deco classic for this year's Halloween model!! He's dark metallic purpley blue with owl markings!! He more than likely was the sneak peak in the previous newsletter. I'm definitely getting him.

Meet Webster!!

Webster is the Halloween plushy for this year!! He is so cute!! He's got little spiders with webs and is very colorful with purple, pink and orange!! Definitely getting him!!

Spooky Surprise Blind Bags Series 7!!

This years Spooky Stablemates are minis of Thriller, Tabitha, and EEK!! I am ordering 2, last year I lucked out getting 2 different ones hoping the same for this year. I mostly like mini Tabitha and Thriller best. The mini Tabitha could've been the sneak peak, but I'm leaning more towards Screech based off how the stars look. Then of course there's a pin of the traditional model I also plan to get. I'll wait a little bit to get the traditional, Arachne.

That's it for this post, see y'all in the next one!!
